It's a summer reshuffle #OppositionCast- as parliament breaks up, Kemi Badenoch has refreshed her frontbench team, Will the changes be enough to boost Conservative fortunes? Will anybody actually notice? And where are Nigel and Sarah going on the party conference roadtrip?

This week's @yougov.co.uk poll showing the Conservatives falling behind the Lib Dems into 4th place feels like a bit of a moment for opposition politics in the UK.
Plenty for us to discuss on #OppositionCast, then - do give us a listen as you start your weekend: pod.link/oppositionca...

#OppositionCast is back! Join Nigel and Sarah as they discuss the Conservatives falling to 4th place in the polls, surprise defeats for the main Opposition parties in Australia and Canada, and what the success of Reform UK in the local elections means.

Latest #OppositionCast episode, in which I get back in my TARDIS to go back and listen to the first impressions made by different Leaders of the Opposition in history. The good news for Kemi Badenoch is that things could have gone much worse for her by now...

The Centre for Opposition Studies @oppositionstudies.bsky.social · Dec 17

First impressions count, they say. As Kemi Badenoch settles into her first few months as Leader of the Opposition, how did her predecessors fare in their very first public statements as leader? @nigelfletcher.bsky.social heads back in time to find out:

Plus, @sarahsouthern.bsky.social has been tractor-spotting the Farmers' protests in Westminster, where gave Nigel her views on the issue. But will this really move the polls? And what about those polls? Are Reform UK really ahead of Labour?
